    Wheat & Rye bar & restaurant
    Carrieq R.

    I like this place. Yep it's a dive, and a good one. Pool table, arcade games, pull tabs,. Sticking bathroom door that requires an extra oomph , outside seating, big bar, low lights. A great spot for corned beef or other sandwich/burger and a drink before boarding a plane or while waiting to pick someone up from airport. If I lived close it would be a good neighborhood hangout

    Visiting from out of town with a group, we all left happy. It's very loud. Like so, incredibly loud. If you want an in depth conversation, I would not recommend. Food was excellent and very plentiful. Everyone had leftovers. It came fast and steaming hot. It was an incredible value. The service was a tad slow despite the restaurant being slow, but not too bad. I'd recommend anyone driving through town to check this place out for a quality, hot, meal.

    Wings! So good!

    Believe every good review you see for this place! Is it a dive bar? Yes. Is the floor sticky? Yes? Does the food and drink cost 25% of what you're about to pay at DTW? Also yes. Service is great. Sandwich and wings were amazing. Beer is cold, plenty of TV's to watch sports. We've stayed near the airport many times before early flights out and only now found this place and it will be our new go to!

    I don't know why this place has 3 stars but hopefully we can fix that! We came in sat at the bar, 2 of us first. We were nicely greeted by the bartender who was super nice. We came on a Friday the special was fish & chips it was HUGE! I'm not a coleslaw person but this was fresh not mushy so I actually enjoyed it. The fish I had 3 giant pieces of cod, coleslaw, fries and a roll. I'm also not usually a French fry lover because I only like them hot & fresh which these were. The sauce that came with tarter which I didn't try and a delicious red hot sauce. The rest of my co workers arrived and ordered pulled pork sliders, jalapeño poppers, chicken cheesesteak and black bean burger. The portions are huge so go hungry or share! When you walk in it looks like a dive bar with pinball & some games. There are plenty of tables near a big huge TV for watching sports.

    Ok, so when we pulled up we looked around because we thought it was going to be a fast food joint. There were a lot of factors that had us looking sideways but it was almost midnight and we were starving so we decided to go for it. This place did not disappoint! It was a great vibe and a totally mixed crowd. The music was bumping 2000s hip hop and the waitresses were similar to urban style Hooters restaurant girls. The food was massive and it tasted great! I had a burger and fries and the hubby had the pastrami and corned beef sandwich and that was . The price was very reasonable and the service was great! The ONLY thing that annoyed me was that I had to pay too much for a little bottled water with my meal even with ordering food and drinks. If we are back in the area we will likely try it again.

    Low key, low lit, fast, and friendly service. Lots of TVs. Smoking on the enclosed patio. Good menu, not over the top pricing, food made to order as you like it. Reasonable beer list. Good place to stop for a bite.

    Corn beef sandwich and cheese fries.

    Huge corn beef sandwich. The bartender was extremely busy but still excellent service. My new place when I fly out if DTW.

    Great little spot outside the airport! Food Network should really take a stop here and showcase the sandwiches!

    Food is...let's face it, barely edible. Portions extremely large and service lax at best. To be avoided.

    Great service! Everyone spoke and was nice. There were smiles and high energy. I wish I could…read morerecall the guy who seated us's name (starts with a J I think). He had the best vibe and raspy voice. I had chicken pot pie soup. It came with the most delicious and flaky croissant. My co-workers had chicken and waffles and a chicken wrap. We also had the Cajun fries to share. All good. They have cake offerings. I got strawberry crunch. It was okay.

    Would've been 4/5 stars if the front-of-house didn't get in its own way. We had a reservation and…read morestill waited 30-40 minutes, and I walked past whole empty sections on my way to the bathroom, so I don't know what the holdup was. The confirmation text didn't come through until we were already inside, which might be bad reception, but it almost cost us the table. Then they sat us right across from the back kitchen entrance. Banging, yelling, and an open doorway into the kitchen. Off-putting, especially with better seating clearly open. The food keeps the rating up. I did not expect a wings place, but the smoked wings were my favorite, right amount of crispy with good smoke. The sauce list is long and I couldn't pick a favorite. The ranch tasted house-made and it was amazing. The chikin soho was the other standout. Honey ginger glaze, chili dijon slaw, and pickles that all work together. Misses: the brisket nachos needed fresh guac and actual brisket, since there was barely any. The 6 cheese mac was fine but not worth ordering again. Prices were right for what it is, a bistro concept. It's in Wayne, which surprised me since I didn't know spots like this existed out here. Wide enough menu that I'll be back. Next time I'm speaking up about the seating.
